Help Bring Children to TomeCon 2026 – Featuring Keynote Speaker Gordon Korman!

TomeCon is an unforgettable, student-centered literacy conference hosted by Tome Society, bringing together thousands of students in grades 2–12 to celebrate reading, leadership, and creativity. This full-day event features author panels, student competitions, interactive breakout sessions, and exciting opportunities for young readers to connect with the books and characters they love.

We’re thrilled to announce that Gordon Korman—beloved author of over 100 middle-grade books including Tome Book Award Winners Slugfest, The Fort, and The Unteachables—will be the keynote speaker at TomeCon 2026! For many of our students, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet a literary hero and be inspired by his words in person.
